Anglesea Beach
Anglesea Beach
The main swimming beach in Anglesea is located next to the mouth of the Anglesea River. The popular beach is moderately safe and patrolled during peak times. A great place to learn to surf, swim, or simply relax on the beach, Anglesea Beach is an excellent family friendly ocean escape.
The Surf Coast Walk connects Torquay to Anglesea and offers sweeping landscape views over the Anglesea Surf Life Saving Club and the Point Roadknight point. With the local Anglesea General Store just around the corner, Anglesea Beach should be your next coastal holiday destination.
The Anglesea Family Caravan Park is the only holiday park in Anglesea with beach and river frontage, positioned at the start of the Great Ocean Road.
Anglesea Beach is a timeshare dog friendly area and from the 1 December – 28 February and Easter dogs are only permitted off leash between 7pm and 9am. All other times dogs are allowed off leash, under control. For more information about dog friendly beaches, visit the Surf Coast Shire’s website.
